Predicting Bangladesh’s Playing XI for their first ODI against West Indies

Bangladesh and West Indies will face each other in the 1^st of three ODI games that are set to be played on Sunday. All three ODI games will be played in ST Kitts followed by 3 T20I matches to be held in St Vincent. The next three games are set to be blockbusters after the amazing Test series that was witnessed.

West Indies won the first Test match of the series by a massive margin of 201 runs. Just when the fans thought Bangladesh couldn’t make a comeback, they beat West Indies in the 2^nd Test. Nahid Rana, Taskin Ahmed, and Taijul Islam did the damage with the ball to help the visitors win the game.

In the last few years, Bangladesh has become a great side in the ODI format. Despite the likes of Shakib Al Hasan and Mushfiqur Rahim not being part of the side, Bangladesh are still a force to be reckoned with.

Here is the likely Bangladesh’s Playing XI vs West Indies

Top order – Tanzid Hasan and Parvez Emon Hossain

Bangladesh openers Tanzid Hasan and Parvez Emon Hossain aren’t that experienced but have plenty of talent. Both can play the aggressive game and also play the long innings. With the white ball expected to do a lot during the three games, both batters will be expected to do well and give their team good starts.

Middle Order – Litton Das, Mahmudullah, Jaker Ali

Without two of their most experienced stars in Shakib and Rahim, Bangladeshi will look to Litton Das and Mahmudullah to fill the role. Litton Das at number 3 can be a great option for visitors. Mahmudullah has years of experience and could play a huge role at number four. Jaker Ali showed what he can do with the bat with his 91 during the 2^nd Test of the Jamaica Test.

Lower-order – Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Soumya Sarkar, Rishad Hossain

Skipper Mehidy Hasan Miraz will want to take the confidence of the huge Test win into the ODI series. The 27-year-old has been a huge presence in the middle and lower middle order with the bat and also a huge factor with the ball. Soumya Sarkar who started out as an opener can bat lower down the order to lend more balance to the side. Rishad Hossain can use the willow well for a few lusty hits and is also a dangerous bowler.

Tail enders – Taskin Ahmed, Tanzim Hasan Sakib, Shoriful Islam

In the absence of Mustafizur Rahman, the onus of leading the side will fall on the shoulders of Taskin Ahmed. The right-arm pacer has been picking wickets consistently in the last few months across formats. Shoriful Islam with his inswingers and lethal bowling in the death overs. Young Tanzim Hasan Sakib has the ability to bowl fast and hurry the batters with his skiddy nature bowling.
